Summary
We are, by nature, very short-sighted people. We look at our lives through a keyhole, we see the crisis of Tuesday, the stress of Wednesday, and the bills due on Friday. We are obsessed with the immediate "right now." And because we are so focused on the immediate, we tend to view God as a reactive God. We struggle with what I call "Temporal Narcissism", the idea that God’s clock started when we showed up. We think God sits in heaven responding to our choices, good or bad, with some immediate prescriptive consequence or blessing. Like He is just waiting for us to burn our lives to the ground so He can come up with a Plan B, or for us to “perform well” so he can send us “good job” gifts. If we truly believe in a Sovereign God, we must embrace a much bigger reality: God has no "Plan B." only Plan A. God’s Covenant of Grace is not a reaction to your faithfulness, or your failures, or your successes, or your problems. Grace & mercy in your life is a sovereign, precise plan that that predates your existence. Today, we’ll see how God never forgets a promise, leaves His redeemed hopeless, & never loses track of His heirs, even if they’re hiding in a cave.
